Providing Feedback on Tests The following questions are meant to guide you in providing each other with feedback on your test. Please note that you do not have to answer all of the questions; rather, they should guide you with points to consider. You may have other things you notice when reviewing each other’s test, and I invite you to add them to this list of questions! 1. Does the test provide technical information that will prove helpful to the teacher (e.g., a space for students’ names, numbered pages, identifying information, etc.)? 2. Is the layout of the test user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing? 3. Are there enough spaces for students to record their responses (e.g., constructed-response items)? 4. Do the directions clearly tell students where and/or how to present their responses? 5. Are the directions clearly written? Do you know what you are being asked to do with each section of the test? 6. Is the test sequenced so that the students move through Bloom’s Taxonomy from the lowest cognitive level (Remembering) to the highest cognitive level (Creating)? 7. Are points values indicated so that students know how much each item and section are worth and can then use this information in pacing themselves on the test? 8. Are the items worded clearly? 9. Are all directions and items on the test grammatically correct? What about the punctuation of the title of the novel? 10. What is the test evaluating about students’ learning? Be specific here.
